Privacy Protection

The Turbo Accelerator is able to protect users' privacy against information collection by Advertisers and Networks. This is a significant security enhancement to the security settings of Internet Explorer V6.0.

No More Pop-ups?

Ads and Pop-Up suppression are designed to further increase the acceleration ratios. Furthermore, it enhances your browsing experience beyond acceleration, as many banner ads and especially pop ups are distractive and annoying. Pop ups and pop unders frequently cause browser crashes or endless loops. The Turbo Accelerator employs sophisticated artificial intelligence, distinguishing between pop-ups that are a legitimate part of the site functionality and annoying promotional pop ups.

How Does It Work?

The Turbo Internet Accelerator installs once, via a quick, (800Kb) fully automatic software download and then works in the background. It appears as an icon of the Telcomplus logo on the Windows Taskbar, and starts automatically every time the computer restarts. Point your mouse to the icon and see the effective speed of your Internet connection. Right click the icon to see all available options. A simple user interface allows changing acceleration parameters.

Will It Work With My Firewall Software?

Yes, it has been tested with the Windows XP Firewall, the Norton Personal Firewall, and Black Ice. The Norton And Black Ice both need rules configured to allow Turbo to function, Click here for the Norton Configuration.
